​Contraptions Workshop will allow you to build a whole load of new machines and gadgets to liven up your settlements and make life easier for all who dwell within them.

There's some new prefabs to work with, including a warehouse, scaffolding and elevators. Conveyer belts can be snapped together to transport things around your settlement, and a ball track can be constructed to really give it that Rube Goldberg feel.

If you aren't the creative type, or lack the knowledge to properly use a logic gate, there are some simpler things to keep you occupied. Armour and weapon racks can be used to store all those valuable items you'll never use, or you can proudly show them off in display cases.

A fireworks launcher has also been added that will allow you to call for reinforcements or simply to amuse yourself. Posters can be placed on walls, and a pillory can be made if you wish to put your settlers in stocks.

TheGamerPlug has put together a video giving us a brief glimpse of all the new additions:

Contraptions Workshop can be yours for £3.99 if you don't own the game’s Season Pass. Will you be picking this up? Let us know in the forums or comment below.
